"I will travel with the Lord of Reclaiming the Sea along with the vanguard, the Gale Ghost King will lead the central army, and General Mu will lead the rear army. The three armies will each travel one day apart. Do you all have any questions?" Wang Yao then explained his plans for the accelerated pace of the entire army.
The reason why the demon race was chosen as the vanguard was mainly because the demon race was currently the strongest in the army. Although the God of Filling the Sea had gathered many surviving gods along the way, she had also been dispersing her forces to rebuild the divine realm. In fact, there were not many gods who entered the demon realm with the army.
Currently, the number has just exceeded 100,000, while the demon race, after several replenishments, has reached a total of over 150,000, the same as the Netherworld Ghosts. Moreover, the demon race's combat power is far beyond what the Netherworld Ghosts can match.
Because of their large population, the demon race can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses and cooperate to form a powerful offensive force. For example, the Bone Shatterer and the Warrior are fast and have sharp frontal attacks, while the Zhang and Yellow races can control the air, the Mammoth race is good at defense, and the Shu race is good at sneak attacks, and so on.
Due to their characteristics, the Netherworld Clan can only be used as a surprise force, serving as a reserve force when the front lines are at a disadvantage. Wang Yao hopes to leave the Netherworld Clan in the rear, so that when the battle becomes protracted, he can make full use of their characteristics to achieve a surprising victory.
As for the gods, in Wang Yao's plan, they were to serve as a last resort. After all, once the army set off, the weakness of the rear would be exposed. There were too few immortals, who could only be considered scouts at best. If the army needed to break through, it would be necessary to have a fresh force.
Secondly, on the main battlefield, the disciplined and highly capable Protoss army is used as the final decisive factor.
"Lady Lian told me that she plans to establish the first mother nest of the Holy Domain in the Demon Realm of the Decapitation Demon Realm, so I have arranged for the demon race to be the vanguard. I hope you demon generals will not have any objections?" Wang Yao said with a smile when he saw that the generals were silent after hearing his arrangement.
"We wouldn't dare. We'll follow the Commander's arrangements. This humble general will now hand over the logistical matters to Wei Xian." Zhang Liang hurriedly shook his head. Even though the demon generals had some other thoughts in their hearts before, they dared not say anything more after Wang Yao made his point clear.
The truth is, now that the Divine Realm of Reclaimed Land has been recovered, if the next battle proceeds as previously agreed upon by all realms, it will most likely be fought for the Demon Realm. In order for Lady Lian to successfully build her mother nest, the demon generals have no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the front.
The Underworld race had no objection to Wang Yao's command of the central army, and the Divine race did not raise any objections to his arrangement.
After the meeting, Wang Yao, along with Hui Shuo, Wu Ying, Qin Su, and the Lord of Filling the Sea, moved into the vanguard and unceremoniously took over the command of the demon army.
He first ordered the Bone Shattering Clan to set off first, followed by the Yi Clan, Zhang Clan, Huang Clan, and others, but placed the Shu Clan last. The 150,000-strong demon army quickly set off, rushing towards Blackwood City.
This time, the army will no longer pay attention to the lesser demons along the way. When attacked by lesser demons, all the demon soldiers and generals will only protect themselves and rush forward, leaving the lesser demons to the army and immortals behind them to deal with. However, Wang Yao will have to throw down a few Samadhi True Fires to ensure that the army can advance without hindrance.
Once the interference of the inferior demons was ignored, the army's speed immediately increased several levels, and in less than three days they arrived at the foot of Blackwood City. The Lord of Filling the Sea, along with his demon soldiers and generals, launched a charge that scattered the scattered demon resistance outside the city, and the demons surged into Blackwood City.
As a result, Blackwood City was once again an empty city. Although there were still many inferior demons in the city, the army did not linger in the city. Instead, they passed directly through the city and marched on the next city, Smoke City.
"It was right for the army not to stay overnight in Blackwood City. The environment in the city is too complicated and far less safe than this wilderness." In the darkness, the Lord of Filling the Sea looked at the Samadhi True Fire that was being lit around the army one after another and couldn't help but give Wang Yao a rare compliment.
While Wang Yao kept popping the Rejuvenation Pills into his mouth like he was chewing candy, he snorted a few times in annoyance. After scattering the immortals, his workload had increased considerably, and the most troublesome thing along the way was still the inferior demons.
He had tried to arrange marriages between inferior demons, inciting conflict between them through love triangles and love quadrangles, but those methods were far less effective than the Samadhi True Fire. Now, without a system to help control his spiritual energy output, his spiritual energy was quickly consumed when he nodded slightly while casting spells.
Fortunately, there were Spirit Recovery Pills available, but it still felt like he couldn't keep up with the depleted spiritual power. He gradually regretted not arranging some Netherworld Ghosts in the vanguard. Netherworld Ghosts were quite effective against inferior demons, but the troubles the army encountered were not limited to this.
After entering the territory of Blackwood City, many black demonic trees, the same kind that Wang Yao had seen in other demonic cities, appeared on the ground. Only after the army passed did Wang Yao realize that these demonic trees, which seemed harmless in other demonic cities, were actually quite demonic.
Not only does the water they contaminate cause some demons to experience vomiting and diarrhea after drinking it, but it can also cause hallucinations. Some of these demonic trees are also aggressive; lone demon soldiers passing through forests formed by these black demonic trees often disappear without a trace, and their corpses are never found.
But when you carefully observe those demonic trees, you can't find anything. You can only sigh inwardly at how strange they are. The best course of action is to get away from them as soon as possible.
"Even if you gods were given this desolate place, you probably wouldn't be able to live here, would you?" Wang Yao muttered helplessly to the Sea-Reclamation God beside him as his subordinates kept reporting the number of missing demon soldiers.
"We must first cut down all these demonic trees, and then plant some plants unique to the divine realm to purify the demonic energy here. It will take a lot of effort..." The Sea-Reclamation God looked around and muttered to herself, clearly not objecting to incorporating Blackwood City into her Sea-Reclamation Divine Domain.
